Traditional Singers' Circle

Starting Thursday 13 May, upstairs at The Miners Arms, Mina Rd St. Werburghs, Bristol BS2 9Y, 8.00pm.

This will be:
- a space to sing
- try out new songs and experiment
- gain experience, improve performance
- meet and learn from other singers
- maybe workshop sessions, performances etc

All unaccompanied traditional/folk singers welcome (no instruments please), whatever your level of experience.

Come to the first meeting and put your ideas in at the start!

We'll probably start with a round of introductions, followed by a bit of singing for those who want to, and afterwards have some discussion about how the group will function and what it will do.

FFI: contact me here, and I'll pass on to Jude (who initiated this idea) if necessary.

Wow! what a great evening tonight! we had about 15 people tonight to our first meeting (including a few Mudcatters), and a wonderful variety of songs and singers. What lovely people! and great craic... really looking forward to seeing how it evolves...

I'm so looking forward to the next one! which will be in 2 weeks, on Thursday 27 May, same time and place as above. If you couldn't make it to this one, you're very welcome to the next. :)

I have listed it as weekely. Is every 2 weeks definite?
And do you have a policy about Bank Holidays?

eg Xmas day so miss 1 night or shift night one week and proceed from there?

It matters because I am working on predicting days from the formulae and alt weeks need a datum. One that is accurate. incomplete info and a way to verify is better than WRONG info on websites IMNSHO.

Ummm, we've had just one session, and didn't quite get round to discussing policies and Xmas....

For the moment, we've said it'll be 2nd and 4th Thursdays. We'll have to see how that works out. No idea about bank holidays at this very early stage! we'll probably just stop altogether for 2 or 3 weeks at Xmas, but won't decide that til Nov/Dec or so.

Cheers

boy - I wish I was on your side of the pond... sigh....

I'm an a capella singer with dyslexic fingers - you should see how poorly & slowly I type to understand -

I find that the instrumentalists take over wherever they meet & it's hard to squeeze in a song at all...

and then there is always someone who insists on trying to play along - rarely even in the same key or timing...   lol
